CID Control
General Information
The CID Control trigger is designed to detect when a trader logs into the trading platform using a specific Computer Identification Number (CID).
- When the system detects a login from a specified CID list, a notification is generated for the user.
- If the Auto Block Trade option is enabled, Brokerpilot can automatically block trading on affected accounts.
Additionally, the trigger can be used to identify accounts with multiple CIDs. To reduce excessive notifications, the system allows checking Total Realized Profit and Minimum Realized Profit of detected accounts before generating a notification.

Trigger Logic
The trigger continuously monitors account authentication on the trading server and verifies each account’s Computer Identification Number (CID).
✅ If a detected CID matches the configured list, a notification is generated.
✅ If "Detect Several CIDs" mode is enabled, a notification is triggered when a single account is used with multiple CIDs.
✅ If "Auto Block Trade" is enabled, trading on affected accounts is blocked automatically.
